Low Back Pain Physical Therapy
Get Back to Moving Without Low Back Pain Holding You Back
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons active adults slow down — but it doesn't have to be permanent. At Iron Health, we help you understand what's driving your pain, build real strength, and get back to the gym, the trail, or whatever keeps you moving.
Low Back Pain Doesn't Go Away on Its Own
Rest helps short-term, but the pain keeps coming back
You take a few days off, it settles down — then the same tightness and pain returns the next time you push yourself. Without addressing what's causing it, the cycle continues.
Generic advice isn't cutting it
Stretch your hip flexors. Strengthen your core. You've heard it all before. But without understanding your specific mechanics and movement patterns, generic advice only gets you so far.
You're worried about making it worse
Low back pain can make every movement feel like a risk. That fear keeps a lot of people from training, lifting, and living the way they want to — and it makes the problem harder to solve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Low back pain raises a lot of questions. Here's what active adults ask us most about physical therapy for low back pain.
It depends on what's driving your pain and your goals. Many people notice meaningful improvement within a few weeks of starting a focused plan. After your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Not usually. In most cases, staying active is part of the solution. We'll build your plan around what you can do safely while addressing the root cause — the goal is to keep you moving, not shut everything down.
Low back pain has many potential drivers — disc issues, muscle strain, movement pattern faults, hip or core weakness, and more. That's why we start with a thorough evaluation before building your plan. Understanding the cause is how we build something that actually works.
We're primarily cash-based and out-of-network for commercial plans, though we do accept Medicare. We provide superbills for possible reimbursement, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted.
Yes. Chronic low back pain responds well to targeted physical therapy, especially when focused on building strength and improving movement quality — not just managing symptoms. Many people with long-standing back pain see meaningful improvement with the right plan.
